High-temperature tensile and fracture behaviors of as-extruded ZK60 alloy were investigated. It was evident from the experiments that with decreasing temperature and increasing strain rate, the 0.2% offset yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the alloy increased while the elongation to failure decreased. The flowing stress of as-extruded ZK60 alloy during plastic deformation was proportioned to the reciprocal of temperature. At the initial strain rate of 5 x 10(-4)s(-1), the calculated active energy at 300 degrees C was about 93.4 kJ/mol.
